Abstract

Riluzole is the only drug shown to slow the course of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Patients with ALS-associated dysphagia may have to discontinue riluzole therapy because of their inability to swallow the tablet formulation of the drug. An oral suspension of riluzole (Teglutik®) has recently been approved, which may allow patients with ALS-associated dysphagia to continue riluzole therapy for longer.
